WE welcome Record Sport's Keith Jackson on today’s Back Page Monday (December 10) just as he starts his new weekly column in the paper.

THERE was surprise at the weekend when Keith’s predecessor, Jim Traynor, was announced as the new Director of Communication of Rangers and, in today’s article, he asks ‘what on earth has he dived into’ in taking on the role.

Viewed in the context of recent developments, with the club endorsing a fan boycott of February’s Scottish Cup meeting with Dundee United at Tannadice, Keith also explains why Traynor and Rangers owner, Charles Green, may not always see eye to eye.

Elsewhere, in the SPL, we also saw a couple of big results - with Celtic returning to form after their European endeavours and hammering Kilmarnock at Rugby Park.

Hearts also bounced back from their derby defeat in the cup with a 2-0 win over an Aberdeen side who were rocked by some painful news at the end of the week.

Ryan Fraser has announced that he will leave Pittodrie at the end of the season, becoming the third high-profile and promising youth player to jump ship over the past year.

We discuss the move and ask if the youngster is making a big mistake in leaving the club so soon after making the breakthrough - before turning our eye to the midweek cup replays.
